They appear to be very long can you still get your fingers under the RC and your thumbs on top of the sticks.

I can yes. But I’m 6 feet 2 so have large hands.

6'4" tall here with large hands and I've always liked short sticks with my FPV quads but I'm liking slightly longer ones with the MA2.

Here's a few pics of some stick ends I drew up and printed in TPU to fit on the M4 screw heads. This is just a test print, I'm going to recess the head of the screw another 1.5mm and print a pair of them. I used an M4 nut to hold the stick end in place then covered the nut and screw threads with a piece of heat shrink.

What type of stick ends do people like to use? I'm going to draw some up to use with the M4 bolts/screws.

Will the Phantom Knobs fit? Are the tops of the M4 bolts/screws the same diameter as the original sticks?

The stock stick ends have a diameter of 9.6mm, the head of the M4 screw is only 7mm. Here's the second version of the stick ends with the head recessed so you don't feel it. I'm currently drawing up another one to see if it's possible to snap the stick end onto the screw head rather than having the screw go through the stick end.

If there is a certain shape someone is looking for just post a picture of it and I'll see what I can do.

Here's another version that slides over the head of the screw, it's a tight fit so it won't come off very easily.

Yes they are. M4 = 4mm bolt = 4mm diameter metric thread.

 

[Airmaxx23]

Yes they are. M4 = 4mm bolt = 4mm diameter metric thread.

He's asking about the diameter of the screw head versus the diameter of the stock sticks end. The Phantom Knobs he's referring to slide over the stick ends. The M4 screw head is too small for the ends to stay on.

 

[Mavic-Max]

The diameter of the head is 7mm.

The diameter of the head is 7mm.

See posts #24 and #25 for solutions.

I can upload the ends to Thingiverse if someone wants to print them.

Do you remember to remove the Gimbal Protector?

Yep.

I modified the "Sport" switch to be an ATTI switch.



I have no use for a "Sport mode." However, I use ATTI constantly to check wind speed.
